Three of the best beauty box-sets for added drama and delight this Christmas

Gorging on television box sets is one way to get through these cold winter nights, when snuggling up at home in cashmere socks can seem a more attractive prospect than donning heels and drinking cocktails. But Glass have found three beauty box-sets that will encourage you to get off the sofa and make the most of the party season. When make-up is this exciting, you’ll want to show it off …

 

Glo & Ray Balloon Pop eye liners
The Glo & Ray Balloon Pop Lasting Silky Eyeliner Limited Edition Set

The Glo & Ray Balloon Pop Lasting Silky Eyeliner Limited Edition Set
This enigmatic and weighty box of delights patterned in vibrant, graphic colour has serious wow factor. Contained within is a collection of eyeliners that will enable you to create any beauty look you fancy – whether that’s the simplest flash of inky black or a scrawl of playful colour on the face.

Glo & Ray’s eyeliners are highly pigmented and super easy to work with: smudgable and blendable when first applied, they dry to a long-lasting, waterproof finish. Lift the deep lid of this box to reveal Glo & Ray’s exclusive cherrypink liner: Rose Candy, and find beneath that liners in Midnight Black, Forest Green, Champagne Pink, Orchid (metallic purple), Summer Sky (turquoise), and a sharpener, which you will need, as you’ll wear these shades again and again. An extra-thoughtful touch, from a currently under-the-radar brand all about high-fashion colour and great quality.

The Glo & Ray Balloon Pop Lasting Silky Eyeliner Limited Edition Set priced at £28. Available at BeautyMART Top Shop, Oxford Circus and online

 

Stiks Cosmetiks Trio Front and Center

The Stiks Cosmetiks Trios

The Stiks Cosmetiks Trios

This box-set is a must-have item for any lover of innovative design and packaging – it is as sharp, sleek and chiselled as Charlotte Rampling. Stix are packaged in a patented “flat tube”; a sculptured, angular box case with a flip-up top. Pop the hinged perspex lid, swivel the silver casing, and apply the angular bullet of colour to achieve the perfect cupid’s bow and sharp lipline. It takes a little bit of time to learn to apply your Stiks with studied nonchalence, but for those of us that like our make-up to act as a conversation-starter, the effort is worth it.

The formulation lives up to the dramatic design: Stiks come in deeply pigmented colours that are comfortable and easy to wear. The Stiks Cosmetiks Trio contains three Stiks lipsticks in a limited edition mirrored silver case. We love the colour combinations available: Femme Fatales (Naked, Nude and Rose), Too Cool for School (Burgundy, Rose, Cinammon) and Front and Center (Red, Fuchsia and Tangerine) … which will you choose?

Individual Stix Cosmetiks lipstick shades (£42) are available at BeautyMART and Stiks Cosmetiks Trios
